Weekly graphic. [volume] (Kirksville, Adair Co., Missouri) 1880-1949, 1887-10-21
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 81,

The adoption of the local
option law was voted down in
Schuyler county last week.
Washington, ID. C. will
make an earnest effort to have the
republican and democratic, ma
tional conventions held in that
city.
There is an urgent demand
for all kinds of labor through the
West, and many manufacturers
are still obliged to import it from
the East by extending proper
inducements. An immense amount
of outside work yet remains un-
done.
Tho foreign beet crop
promises to be 100000 tons less
than it was last year, and as the
stock of sugar in the world is
100000 tons less than it was at
this time last year some people
think there will be an advance in
sugar.
R. G. Dunn & Co.'S review
of trade for last week, says that
every condition for a marked ed
vance in prices has been supplied
that government operators can
control. Ii the advance does not
come it will be because of the
amount of capital locked up in
railroad building and real estate
speculations.
Gen. Lucius Fairchild, re-
Gently Commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, will
give, in the November number of |
The AMERICAN MAGAZINE, an
account of the origin, aims and |
work of the Order. The G. A. R. |
Is essentially a great benevolent |
society; its chief business is to
help the needy, and it has kept |
closely to its work.
The officials of the O. M, |
d P. Ry., accompanied by officials
of the Ohio and Mississippi,
went over the Q. NJ. & P. Satur-
day evening. 1t is thought that
the Ohio and Mississippi is
arranging for through line from
Omaha, via of Kirksville and
Quincy eastward, and that this
trip was a tour of inspection
OF the various lines, and connect
ions on the route.
Within recent weeks an
amusing story has gone therounds
OF the press, to the effect that
THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE was to
be conducted for the benefit of its
contributors, who would receive
stock in payments for their liter
ary work. Tie paragraph has
called forth much pity for the
editor OF magazine SO managed;
wasted tears, as the story never
had any foundation and is wholly
untrue.
H. Martin Williams ad- |
dressed a small audience at !
Masonic Hall Monday evening.
He is row advocating a reform !,
which, he thinks, will make the |
poor rich, and the rich not quite S
SO rich as they are now. We t
hope that FL. Martin may hasten
the day of this reform as we .
belong to the poor class. But h
Just how his reform will make the t
poor richer, without making the J
rich richer, is what we do NOT .

Three years ago cattle feed f
srs In this county were paying
4.25 per hundred for good three
year old cattle, now they are worth
